Just sharing some thoughts on what it takes to be The Godly Husband, and sharing the outline here:
*The Godly Husband embraces his helpmate as his divine assignment on earth. You see, God planned your wife(ves), just as certainly as God planned Eve for Adam. God will never authorize a man to marry a woman who refuses to follow, nor a woman to marry a man who refuses to lead.
*The Godly Husband has been qualified by God to be the solution for his helpmate. When you truly understand your assignment as a HUSBAND, and fully embrace it, follow it, and passionately pursue it as from God, you will have peace, fulfillment, and a special grace from above to complete that assignment.
*The Godly Husband knows well the unique calling and anointing on his own life. God has ORDAINED you as a husband to be the spiritual leader of your home. Always remember that every marriage has an ENEMY that seeks to destroy it. When there is no anointed leadership from the husband, you are inviting Satan to go on the attack. Every second of every day, the enemy is looking for ways to divert your attention from that of servanthood to self-fulfillment. God has commanded husbands to serve as the WATCHMEN for their families.
*The Godly husband understands the power of focus in his life. As a husband, you need to focus on the favorable characteristics of your wife(ves) that make her distinct and unique from all others. You need to WRITE these things down....You need to SPEAK these things OUT LOUD. You need to cherish and honor these qualities as gifts from God, and seek to develop them and multiply them. When you focus on those things, instead of the negative, it makes a huge difference in the relationship.
*The Godly Husband seeks to create a favorable climate for his helpmate. As a husband, you are in a unique position to set the tone for your home. What things do you allow to be said? What attitudes do you allow to linger? Are you speaking words that build up and glorify, or tear down and shatter?
Anyway, just a few thoughts that I am putting together, and thought I would get some feedback from all of you regarding them.
Blessings,
Doc
